was mostly of barley.
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
This Hadith also displays the asceticism and economic scantiness of the Prophet (PBUH) and his
wives.

Fadalah bin `Ubaid (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When Messenger of Allah (PBUH) led Salat,
some people would fall down from their standing posture out of extreme hunger. They were of the people of As-
Suffah. The nomad Arabs would say that they were insane. After concluding Salat, Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
would turn to them and say,
"If you were to know what is in store for you with Allah, the Exalted, you would wish
to augment your starvation and lack of provisions.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
The habit of maintaining self-respect in the period of studentship makes man self-respecting, patient
and content throughout his life. The dignity of `Ulama' lies in patience, contentment and indifference and not in
wishing to drain the purses of others and asking them for alms.

Miqdad bin Ma`dikarib (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say:
"No man fills a container worse than his stomach. A few morsels that keep his back upright are sufficient for him. If
he has to, then he should keep one-third for food, one-third for drink and one-third for his breathing.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
This Hadith dissuades us from overeating as this causes laziness and affects one's health.

Abu Umamah bin Tha`labah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Companions of Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) mentioned the life of the world before him. He (PBUH) said,
"Do you not hear? Do you not hear?
Simplicity (in life) is part of Faith, simplicity is part of Faith.''
[Abu Dawud].
Commentary:
This Hadith invites our attention to a simple way of living - ordinary dress and simple and non-rich
food - and discourages us from being habitual of an affected life style - use of costly dress, delicious and rich food
and other dainties of life. The more a man shuns the trappings and accessories of life, the better engaged will he be
in being readied for the Hereafter. The increased degree of his involvement in worldly comforts and luxuries will
keep decreasing his concern for the accountability of future life. We may keep it in mind that simplicity does not
mean escape from cleanliness. Because cleanliness is in itself `half the Faith'. How can a believer ignore purity and
cleanliness?
